I'm well educated but tend to speak simply.
To me, Life is about balance - it is about finding harmony.

I am supportive/nuturing by nature. Helping others allows me to
reflect and grow for myself. I listen and genuinely want to
understand my partner; their passions broaden my imagination and
fuel dreams. Don't get me wrong, I have lots of opinions and plenty
to share too.

Sharing experiences is important to me. I am a social creature and
have a wonderful set of friends. However, I want to have moments
that selfishly belong to only you and I. I want to listen to a
speech and then discuss how it affected you verse me. Yes, I need
my alone time too. I'll be sure to get it as needed and happy to
let you know when it is needed.

Touch is also vital to me. I move slowly in this aspect. That is
one barrier I am working on which can be frustrating on both sides.
Trust me though, I'm well worth it in the end and you might as well
enjoy a good laugh as I struggle to figure out the when of it all.
I'm perfectly fine with public displays of affection, I just get a
bit paranoid at taking the first steps and worry about making
someone feel uncomfortable before they are ready.

I am quite mutable. I am just as comfortable taking the reigns or
sitting in a passanger seat. It's second nature for me to fill the
roll that's needed. My motto has become "it is what it is" by which
I mean accepting the truth and being flexible. From there, you can
channel passion to make a difference or needed change.

I am still learning to accept gifts.

I tend toward sarcasm and use hyperbole EVERWHERE simply because
some things are so absurd that just saying them out loud is
fun.

I tend to stay up late to unwind while my body keeps gets up early
for work (even on the weekends - ugh, not cool at all).

I'm happiest in jeans and a T-shirt but can look stylish all
dressed up - that's important and fun from time to time (I can
enjoy strolling through ties and dress shirts for interesting
patterns). I love grocery shopping but almost need to be dragged
into a department store (no, this isn't contrary to what I said
moments ago, I just take advantage when I'm already in a clothing
store).

I have a hard time falling asleep in silence. I fix that with old
time radio shows or music from the computer or a TV on. If this
bothers you, I've got an easy fix - an mp3 player and
earbuds.

Did I mention movie quotes are like water and air to me?

I don't like "pasta" but there are plenty of dishes that taste
wonderful - like fettucini alfredo or beef stroganoff on fresh egg
noodles. Basically, my father used to make "spis-getti" by frying
up some hamburger and dumping a can of sauce in the pot -
bleck!

I don't mind someone who enjoys a few drinks but no thank you to
smoking or drugs.

I'm in the midst of settling into my new house. Things are a bit
sparse as I try and figure out what is the right furniture, look,
and budget that creates a home.
I'm settling into my job and learning new mechanisms to cope with a
different management style than I've worked with before. I'm
coordinate the tech projects, help design new policies, establish
best practices, and create training/communication plans so we can
do things the right way.

... standing on a soapbox and voicing my opinion once I've found
something I believe is "right."
I'm also good at learning a little about everything.
... and wanting to know how/why things work.
... caring about others.
... wearing my heart on my sleeve.
... coaching.
... my job. I want more than just getting by, I want to be making
things better for the long run.
... being pig-headed or a wee bit stubborn.
